Quote from: FarmGirl on Jun 01, 2023, 03:34 PMRE, how's the typing going? You once mentioned that you were down to a single finger poking at a phone keyboard, your post was quite voluminous for that style of writing. Got yourself a proper keyboard/laptop/dekstop type combination now? Has summer sprung in the land of ice and snow?

By my old standards, that was post-it note in length.  In the old days, I probably would have dropped 5000 words pontificating on the etiology of collapsing fertility in the industrial society.  At my old keyboarding speed, I would have typed out that 5000 words in the same amount of time the post-it notes take me now.

I am still keyboarding with one hand, though I do use 3 fingers and my thumb for the space bar.  Full size real keyboard, not a mini virtual keyboard on a phone screen.  To keyboard something like one of my novel length posts of yesteryear today would take all day.  3 or 4 paragraphs today is about as long as they are likely to get.

Along with Ice for Margaritas as a metric, if there are enough girls left for a Bikini Contest, we haven't collapsed.
